We have not used stimulant Rx on them, because I am of the opinion that their problems are a language disorder from a lack of holding and being talked to as infants. Although autism is not an acquired problem, I think that one can get a similar looking condition from severe emotional and language deprivation as a very young child. Gary Emmett
